We all know people who are tense and nervous and can't relax. They may have been wired differently since childhood.
New research by the HealthEmotions Research Institute and Department of Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) indicates that the brains of those suffering from anxiety and severe shyness in social situations consistently respond more strongly to stress, and show signs of being anxious even in situations that others find safe.

Yes Amy, I think the highlight tool for Firefox3 is not yet working perfectly smooth as of late. That is why I resort to this approach for now. Thanks anyway for letting me know about your concerns. Cheers!

ryanborja, I like this story. They have a point. You can see the trait in generations too.
I have also just heard that they are developing a shyness pill.. and it is not alcoholic.

Oh really? But can a pill cure shyness? I think it still needs a couple of other activities geared to combat shyness that will help people with this symptom. But you know, I once read too an article that shows that relationship of shyness with religious faithfulness. In that article, the shyness seems miraculously overcome by faith. But somehow I think more research needs to be done regarding this.
